[C320-list] Commodore for C-320

The surprising part is that even after you had met everyone in Chicago,
you continued going to other Regattas! :)

Two other thoughts about this.

1) Is the history of regatta location/hosts and Commodores archived
somewhere?

2) It seems to me that the roving regatta location technique picks up
locals each year.  Folks who've not attended before but attend "this year"
because it is close by.  Once they attend, they are usually hooked.  It
certainly happened to me for the Chicago regatta.  I would never have
seriously considered flying out west the year before for something I'd
never seen with a bunch of people I didn't know.  But Chicago, hey what
the heck might as well try it out.  That hooked me.

I think the Baltimore regatta similarly picked up a bunch of additional
Chesapeake sailors who have become very loyal converts/attendees since
that event including BruceS as Commodore.  So moving it around seems to be
good.  I've never heard of any previous one held in Florida so PeterC's
lead sounds very interesting in that regard.

I can confirm that in my time in the organization there has been no
correlation between regatta host/locale and commodore.

I bought my boat in 2001 too late to be tuned in to Dick Walker's previous
San Diego Regatta.

My 1st Regatta was in Chicago in 2002 and Orlando was finishing his
Commodore term at that event.  It was hosted by Pat Reynolds, Linda
Sadlowski, Phil & Jan Byrd.  I sailed to that regatta 100nm from Muskegon
Michigan aboard Pegasus which took 2nd in the races behind a local boat.
Wes Giles (future Commodore) and I learned how to both sit in the front
passenger seat of a taxi and remain friends.

My 2nd Regatta was in Baltimore in 2003 and Linda Loux was finishing her
Commodore term at that event.  Linda had hosted a regatta in the Seattle
area a few years earlier
